A lot of them are going to have a sliver of genius, but be held back by the limits of current technology. And a lot of them are going to be awesome,” writes blogger Nilay Patel. “Circuit Breaker is a place to track all this new stuff, figure out all the trends, and understand where the industry is going before it gets there. It’s not about buying advice or reviews — it’s about watching the future get invented in real time.”
